Context of Ezekiel 11:14
12Then you will know that I am the Lord. You haven’t lived by my laws, and you haven’t obeyed my rules. You have followed the standards set by the nations around you.” 13While I was prophesying, Benaiah’s son Pelatiah died. I immediately bowed down and cried out, “Almighty Lord, will you completely destroy all the remaining people in Israel?” Then the Lord spoke his word to me. He said, 15“Son of man, the people who live in Jerusalem are talking about your own relatives and about the entire nation of Israel. The people who live in Jerusalem say, ‘They are far away from the Lord. This land has been given to us as our own property.’ 16“So tell them, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, I have been their sanctuary for a little while among the countries where they’ve gone.’
